L'environnement Flashcards
what is eco-conduite?
Eco-responsible behavior when you have a driving license means saving money and polluting the planet less and thereby reducing the risk of having an accident.
REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT
HOW to perform eco conduite
choose a vehicle in a good state
go electircal!
adjust ‘environmentaliness’ on highway/mountains/road
how to choose a eco-car?
- adapted to your needs (where you live)
- comapre carbon emsision per KM
- fuel needs, fuel type and fuel costs
what are the labels?
xx= type of car?
diesel= caburant
4,2= consommation aux 100 mk
100 g/km; rejets de CO2/km pacourour
leaves it at a score B
caburant
fuel
pros and cons of different cars + eco-ness
electric= least pollutant but least autonomy
hybrids= double motorization and also electric
automatic= less consumption than a manual
what equipments lower your carbon footpring? (L’economie de caburant)
- Cruise control (regulateur de vitesse)
- Le limiteur de vitesse
- Stop & Start System
- GPS
- The tachometer and trip computer
- Energy recovery systems
cruise control pro
- Cruise control (regulateur de vitesse); less fuel consumed on long journeys
limiteur de vitesse pros
Le limiteur de vitesse: speed limiter; once the maximum speed has been reached regulates the arrival of fuel.
Stop & Start System pro
allows the automatic stopping and restarting of the engine. It saves around 10% fuel in the city and reduces noise pollution.
GPS pros in ecodriving
GPS, the driver chooses routes that avoid traffic jams and consume less fuel.
tachometer & trip computer pros in ecodriving
keeps fuel consumption low. Some cars tell the driver when to change gears.
Energy recovery systems pros
make it possible to recover the energy dissipated during braking to reinject it when starting, or even to store the recovered electrical energy.
Entretenir son véhicule
car maintenace
how to entrentenir your car well
a well maintenace car= less carbon consumption:
- verifier les niveau (levels)
- put pressures in wheel once a mont (as resistance of tires cause 20% of fuel consumpation)
- verify leaks in engine
- choose equipment with good tire resitance
what are the 3 criteria by which to choose tires?
- consommation du caburant
- la securite
- le bruit de roulement
eco-driving: principle when accelerating & speeding
- try to be at highest gear and get there fast
- for Petro/eGLP car: change speed to 2500 tr/mn
- Diesel car: 2000 tr/mn
TO downshift do it at low engine speed if enough power available
eco-driving: principle when braking/slowing
Use engine braking as much as possible
brake only if neccesary
relaxing acclerator entirely cuts off injection= uses less fuel=zero consumption
eco-driving: principle when charging and accessorizing
If they are not useful, remove the bars or the roof box, which leads to overconsumption even when empty
Ventilate the vehicle before using the air conditioning, it is advisable to adjust it keeping a difference of 5° with the outside.
When cold, do not run the engine when stationary but drive gently for the first 2 km.
Use electrical accessories reasonably
at 120 km/h, roof bars or a roof rack increase consumption by…
at 120 km/h, roof bars or a roof rack increase consumption by around 10%.
temperature regulation at 25C?
For a temperature of 25°C, air conditioning set to 20°C generates around 20% more fuel consumption in town and 6% more on the motorway.
Eco-principles when…driving on highway
Between smooth and relaxed driving and rough driving, the fuel consumption gap can reach 40%.
You have to maintain the safety distances to avoid sudden braking, stabilize the speed using the cruise control if you have one and anticipate.
How much fuel do you save by driving 120 km/h as opposed to 120 km/h on the highway?
5 liters over 500 km.
Eco-principles when… driving on the road
depassement consumes energy
when taking curve; slow speed in highest gear ratio
Eco-principles when.. driving in mountains
Mountain roads are not that compatible with eco-driving however:
o When going down release the accelerator as much as possible to profit from inertia
o When going up; choose the most suitable speed
Eco-principles when… driving in cities
Avoid downshifting during prolonged traffic stops (20 to 30 seconds), do not hesitate to switch off the engine.
Maintaining safety distances allows you to always stay in motion even at low speed, repeated stops and starts will lead to overconsumption.
When approaching a roundabout, a slow-motion approach makes it possible to predict and analyze insertion slots and avoid stopping.
Or when approaching a light that has been red for a long time, let the car roll to restart when it turns green.
As soon as the vehicle is launched, it is necessary to maintain a stable speed on the highest gear
What is eco-mobillity?
NOT driving car; choosing a mode of transport least pollutant/energy demanding e.g.
walking, biking, rollerbading/scooters, public transmort
what is ‘inter-modalite’
using multiple transport models i.e. parking on city peripheray and taking bus in
car pooling (covoiturage)
l’autopatarge/velopartage
covoiturage
car pooling
